Kleine Devisen-Bilder
A printed German sheet titled Kleine Devisen-Bilder, dated 1852 and published in Magdeburg, offering a grid of small hand-coloured emblem pictures for children or household use. The pictures are tiny, simple, and flat, each in its own cell with a short caption, and a designer could take from them the compact, icon-like clarity of nineteenth-century German emblem imagery.
